A Timely Civics Lesson
With all the corruption in Washington, a civics lesson on the constitutional line of succession may be appropriate.
I mean, let's say Bush and Cheney are indicted and have to resign, and the overweight Hastern and frail Stevens both have a stroke, who would then be our president....?
Well....it seems our very our own Condi Rice becomes commander in chief. Just like Geena David On TV's "Commander in Chief."
Here is the line of succession:
1. Vice President.
2. House Speaker
3. Senate President Pro Tem
4. Secretary of State.
5. Treasury Secretary
6. Defense Secretary
7. Attorney General
*8. Homeland Security (per bill passed by the Senate and waiting House approval, promotes
security chief from 18th spot to the eighth).
9. Interior Secretary
10. Agriculture Secretary
11. Commerce Secretary
12. Labor Secretary
13. Health and Human Services Secretary
14. Housing and Urban Development Secretary
15. Transportation Secretary
16. Energy Secretary
17. Education Secretary
*18. Veterans Affairs (see #8)
